About this sunscreen
Algenist Repairing Tint And Radiance Moisturizer is a broad-spectrum SPF 30 tinted moisturizer that pairs a Titanium Dioxide mineral filter with older chemical UV filters including Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate and Benzophenone-3. The balanced finish keeps white cast low and feels lightweight, with low pore-clogging potential, so it sits easily as a daily face moisturizer. It can sting somewhat if it reaches the eyes, and it works okay under makeup. With moderate protection and a score of 53.7/100, it is a light cosmetic option that generally suits low-exposure days rather than serious sun.

Does the Algenist Repairing Tint And Radiance Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 leave a white cast?
No, white cast is low. The tint and the balanced finish help it blend into skin, and the Titanium Dioxide is paired with chemical filters rather than used alone.
Is the Algenist Repairing Tint And Radiance Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 mineral or chemical?
It is a mixed formula leaning chemical. It uses Titanium Dioxide as a mineral filter alongside older chemical filters including Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate and Benzophenone-3.
Is it any good?
It scores 53.7/100 with moderate protection at SPF 30. It works as a light tinted daily moisturizer, but for serious sun exposure a higher-protection formula is generally a better choice.
